Certainly an interesting selection, in my opinion 2 items missing firstly the USAF Thunderbirds sole UK appearance this year, secondly the three 109's at Flying Legends i would have thought deserved a shout too. Finally the No1 selection, while a great restoration of a classic type and worthy of a top 10 spot, No1 i personally don't think so, for what it's worth i would have given it to the Duxford F-15E Demo.

our top ten moments from the 2011 airshow season

I'm sure everyone has their favourites beyond those mentioned, depending on shows visited and tastes, this being the team's choice. It's good to see the comments of others

Why does the livery matter that much, accepting that they are not MEs? Warbirds are always painted in various liveries, which are often changed, for a variety of reasons sometimes unconnected with the particular aircraft.
